Investigation Summary
On January 7, 2016, Employees #1 and #2 were assisting with the emptying of a tanker truck filled with distiller's liquid, used to mix with grain to feed cattle. During the process, a plastic part fell into the tanker, which Employee #1 entered the confined space of the tank to retrieve it. The fumes from the tank's contents were too strong and Employee #1 fell unconscious. Employee #2 then entered the tank to recue Employee #1, but quickly succumbed to the toxic atmosphere and died. Employee #1 survived the chemical exposure, having been revived after being rescued from the tank.
